Lilydale

Maurie's ride to Nagambie. 15 bikes, wet weather gear for potentially damp conditions.

Coldstream

Head straight up the Melba Hwy. to Yarra Glen.

Yarra Glen

Past Yarra Glen to the old Healsville Rd.

Healesville

As we head towards the Toolangi forest, we see showers draping the hills ahead.

Glenburn to Broadford

Maurie says "don't let me hold you up". Some of us go on ahead in the drizzle to see how fast you need to go so that you don't get wet. It didn't work. We got wet. But it was fun. Some people turn back to warmer environs.

Broadford

We stop in Broadford for morning tea and a pit stop. Our fearless ride leader asks who wants to take the short way to Nagambie. There are no takers, so we go the long way via Heathcote. The drizzle clears and we see some sun for the first time.

Heathcote to Nagambie

Nice road here to give the bike an "Italian tune-up". (That means burning the gunk out)

Nagambie

Great and cheap lunch (seniors' special) at the hotel overlooking the lake. Huge wind blowing whitecaps: and we're eating outside. Anyway, a good time was had by all. Some took the twisty roads home and others just cruised down the highway back to Melbourne.
